Chapter 1617: Chapter 1613: Anxious to Save People

Shen Luo’s heart was gripped with alarm, and he immediately tried to recall the Vermilion Bird Sword Spirit, but at this moment, the sword spirit was already entangled by the strange power released from the bloody vortex, and it wasn’t as easy to escape as he wished.

Seeing this, Shen Luo had no choice but to form sword techniques with his fingers while shouting out loud.

His two Pure Yang Flying Swords soared up immediately, slashing diagonally at Blood Wheel King Armor from both sides.

The latter’s split-open chest unfolded like wings and moved to block the flying swords from the left and the right.

A sharp “clang” resounded.

Sounds like that of metal clashing echoed simultaneously, as the Blood Wheel King Armor actually managed to block the Pure Yang Flying Swords with its body.

However, at the very moment of the collision, the flying swords had already circled to its back and transformed into two arcs of light shooting towards Che Qingtian, who was manipulating the armor.

As the flying swords drew near, interweaving sword lights erupted, and two Golden Crow Sword Spirits also transformed into golden fireballs, hurtling straight towards him.

Che Qingtian, knowing he didn’t possess Yan Lie’s Azure Sky Ink Stone and Soul of Ink Brush, naturally didn’t dare to block it head-on and had to move early to dodge.

Seizing the momentary opportunity, Shen Luo didn’t draw his longsword outward, but instead pressed downwards and then executed a Wildfire Sky Raising slash upward.

The Vermilion Bird Sword Spirit soared into the sky in perfect sync with him, merging with the sword light to knock the Blood Wheel King Armor flying.

As Shen Luo gripped his longsword, preparing to kill Che Qingtian, a sudden heavy pressure descended from above him.

He looked up to see a Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower radiating immensely as it headed straight for him.

The Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower had now grown to the size of ten zhang, with layers of black flame coiling around it, and intense prohibition forces emanated from it.

The shadow it cast had already marked a restraining array on the ground, attempting to bind Shen Luo.

Shen Luo hastily executed the Slanting Moon Steps, his feet flashing with moonlight as he aimed to dash away, but unfortunately, the restraining array had already formed, and he was intercepted after moving only about ten zhang.

His eyebrows furrowed, and he fluently wielded his hands, the two flying swords that were previously chasing Che Qingtian swiftly returned, joining the other eight behind him in an ascent into the sky.

Shen Luo acted naturally and with precision, the ten Pure Yang Flying Swords interweaving as he quickly arranged a Golden Sword Array to meet the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower.

“Boom” reverberated.

The sound of their collision was like that of a mountain shattering.

The immense shockwave turned into waves of violent qi, continually lashing out to the surroundings.

Seeing this from afar, Wanshui Zhenren waved his hand, and the Treasure Coin transformed into a slender beam of yellow light, flying towards Shen Luo’s flying swords to disrupt the Golden Sword Array.

Nie Caizhu naturally would not let him succeed, having already waved the Nine Heavens Immortal Silk to intercept.

Wanshui Zhenren could only curse under his breath and retrieve his Treasure Coin, continuing to engage in the struggle.

But after the battle, he couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim at Nie Caizhu’s strength and speed which were extremely formidable, not at all like an ordinary Mount Putuo Disciple, and even comparable to some Buddhist Vajra.

Limited by the few magical treasures she had on hand, Nie Caizhu, despite her physical advantage, couldn’t for the time get the upper hand against Wanshui Zhenren, while Shen Luo’s situation was becoming increasingly dire.

The Golden Sword Array’s power was extraordinary, and after holding off the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower for mere moments, it had been driven back.

But Shen Luo was relentless, pressing the Golden Sword Array towards Yan Lie while wielding the Pure Yang Flying Sword against Che Qingtian.

Che Qingtian was currently storing all his blades and Magical Treasures in his spatial storage, truly reluctant to engage in close combat with Shen Luo, so he had no choice but to recall the Blood Wheel King Armor to shield himself in front.

“Yan Lie, what are you doing? Didn’t you say that their Mana has been depleted along the way? How do they still have so much Mana to hold up until now?” Che Qingtian couldn’t help but ask reproachfully.

“Hell knows their Mana is so profound!” Yan Lie was equally depressed.

After saying that, he took off a yellow-brown Token from his waist, the material of which was indiscernible, and lightly traced his finger over the relief of an Exotic Beast on the tokens, when suddenly a bit of fresh blood oozed from his fingertip.

But soon, the light flashed on the relief of the Exotic Beast on the Token, absorbing all the blood into it, and then its eyes lit up with a bizarre glow, as if it had come to life.

Before long, the sands outside the oasis were churning and surging, and whirlwinds of sand dust erupted, as a large number of Sand Beasts rushed over towards them.

Seeing a dozen Sand Lizards and scores of Sand Scorpions rushing towards Nie Caizhu, Shen Luo had no choice but to give up the pursuit of Che Qingtian and, with a wave of his hand, directed the Golden Sword Array outside the oasis.

At this moment, he understood that the incessant nocturnal attacks of the Sand Beasts were all Yan Lie’s doing from behind the scenes.

For a time, the sand seas thundered incessantly, countless golden sword lights fell like torrential rain, the Golden Rain of Salvation splashed over the Human World, and those dozens of Sand Beasts couldn’t withstand even a few breaths before being completely slain.

Chunks of Sand Beast flesh and blood flew about, and the sandy brown blood spattered all over the ground.

The ten Pure Yang Flying Swords also seemed to have exhausted their energy, their glow dimming, no longer able to maintain the Golden Sword Array, and fell scattered to the ground.

Shen Luo stumbled, barely managing to stand, and with a wave of his hand, slowly retrieved the ten Flying Swords into his body.

On the other side, Nie Caizhu also noticed the anomaly here and quickly waved the Nine Heavens Immortal Silk.

The multicolored splendid light rolled over like a bolt of cloth, wrapped around Shen Luo’s waist, and with a pull, she attempted to bring Shen Luo to her side.

“That wretch has exhausted his Mana, stop him.” Che Qingtian was overjoyed upon seeing this and hurriedly shouted.

The Blood Wheel King Armor that had been blocking in front of him lunged out, dashing straight towards Shen Luo.

Wanshui Zhenren acted immediately upon hearing this.

He didn’t go straight for Shen Luo; instead, he made a beeline for Nie Caizhu.

In his eyes, Shen Luo, already devoid of Mana, was no different from fish on the chopping board. At this moment, it was the best choice to take her down while Nie Caizhu was anxiously trying to save someone.

Indeed, as he speculated, Nie Caizhu at this moment had eyes only for Shen Luo.

Seeing that the Dual Blades of the Armor were about to strike Shen Luo, her heart filled with extreme worry, utterly disregarding her own safety and rushing towards Shen Luo, exposing her back completely.

“Hehe, die.” Wanshui Zhenren felt he could already see the first light of victory.

In his palm, the dark water liquid condensed into a black ice blade, mixed with his Mana and a specially concocted poison, and he stabbed straight at the exposed back of Nie Caizhu.

On the other side, the Dual Blades of the Blood Wheel King Armor had also entangled Shen Luo, one at the front and one at the back, slashing towards Shen Luo’s heart and head respectively.

Just as Wanshui Zhenren’s poisoned blade was about to touch Nie Caizhu’s back, her eyes suddenly lit up with an unusual glow, as the power hidden within her bloodline finally erupted again.

In an instant, all Wanshui Zhenren felt was a series of water wave-like ripples emanating from Nie Caizhu’s body, causing a momentary lapse in his mind.

Before he could react, a dull booming sound suddenly erupted not far away.

But for some reason, this booming sound was longer than usual, sounding like a continuous succession of explosions linked together without any intervals.
